Medical Doctors - Integrative Medicine
Medical Doctors - Integrative Medicine

Allopathic medicine and osteopathic medicine are standard terminologies for modern western medicine. Also, contemporary biomedicine refers to the practices of medical doctors (MD’s) and doctors of osteopathy (DO’s).

 

What makes our doctors unique is their commitment and passion for integrative medicine, wherein they are western trained family medicine or internal medicine physicians who practice holistic, primary care medicine.

 

Perhaps what you will appreciate most is the time and attention received working with integrative practitioners. Second, their expertise extend beyond traditional western protocol in that they have experience working with natural health remedies and practitioners, offering lifestyle recommendations from a wellness model of care.
